Think Positively? Nah, think AWESOME-ly (TM). Or not.
Sounds strange for us to be suggesting this? Don't focus your mind toward the "Power of Positive Thinking"?? Let me ask you this question, has anyone ever said to you, "You should be thinking positively!" and it made you cringe or even worse get angry? To us here at Mount Awesome (TM) this makes sense. It's a completely appropriate response because what messages are possibly deleted from the above statement?
You are thinking negatively. You are thinking wrong.
So now a friend or a relative who probably has the best intentions in the world, has put you on the defensive or in the position of having to admit that you are thinking negatively. You feel terrible, they feel like they have lost rapport, and you both storm out of the restaurant without paying the bill. Everyone loses.
I want to be clear that a positive mind and attitude can be great, but often come with the price that a negative mind and attitude have just as much weight. If you are not thinking positively what are you thinking? Are you starting to get my drift?
We hear at Mount Awesome (TM) suggest that you think with AWESOME MIND (TM). Or not. We have no idea how you should live your life. We suggest that an AWESOME focus on the freeing power of the climb is one that has proved very useful (not right or wrong) time and time again. Only you can decide what is best for you in your life. And the AWESOME part of the AWESOME MIND (TM) is that you can still think "negatively". If you are going to live in a "negative" state, we say be AWESOMELY NEGATIVE! It might spur you into action! Maybe it will become the kind of anger that changes the world in AWESOME ways!
We aren't interested in creating automatons with smiles plastered to their faces blithely denying that there still is a ton of work to be done on the planet, in our families and within ourselves. And we do believe that everyone is doing the best they can at the time given the circumstances they are in. We all have pasts and we all have made mistakes. Focusing on the AWESOME creates in the mind a brighter future filled with all of the successes you can imagine, or haven't even thought of yet. Think how you want to think, live how you want to live, that is true the power of AWESOME!
Besides what's the opposite of thinking AWESOME-ly? Thinking LAME-ly? **Shrug**
